Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fishing rod having, on the surface of a base, an ultraviolet curable resin (e.g., a UV ink) layer, which cures upon irradiation with UV rays, for the purpose of coating and decoration; and in particular, the present invention relates to a fishing rod having, on the surface of the base, a UV curable resin layer with a viscous primer layer intermediating therebetween.
  • an ultraviolet curable resin e.g., a UV ink
  • UV ink which cures upon irradiation with UV rays, has been used in various fields since it since it is quick-drying and endurable and is capable of printing on various materials such as glass, wood, metals, and plastics.
  • An UV ink layer is generally formed on an intermediate primer layer as a viscous and soft resin layer (undercoat layer) in order to retain the wettability of UV ink drops (i.e., to stabilize the diameter of struck UV drops) and enhance the adhesion of the UV ink (see Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-52378 (the "'378 Publication”)).
  • the UV ink is known to peel due to its cure shrinkage. Such peeling of the UV ink can be mitigated by, for example, providing a primer layer that can adapt to shrinkage of the UV ink, as disclosed in the '378 Publication.
  • a primer layer that can adapt to shrinkage of the UV ink, as disclosed in the '378 Publication.
  • the peeling of the UV ink may not be prevented by the above approach alone depending on the curvature (diameter) of the tubular body.
  • a tubular fishing rod is frequently distorted in use when the line is tugged by fish.
  • a portion of the pole with a larger curvature increases its curvature due to deformation, and thus the primer layer on the portion and the UV ink applied thereon are stretched circumferentially and axially, possibly resulting in peeling of the UV ink.
  • a primer layer that can adapt to shrinkage of the UV ink cannot alone prevent peeling of the UV ink.
  • Japanese Patent Application 2010-253960 discloses a tubular body used in the manufacturing process of a fishing rod according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention is to address the above problem.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that can prevent peeling of a UV curable resin layer on the outer surfaces of poles having various curvatures.
  • the present invention is a fishing rod according to claim 1 including at least a pole with an outer diameter of 25 mm or less, the pole having a base and a UV curable resin layer stacked thereon with a viscous soft resin layer intermediating therebetween.
  • the soft resin layer is applied to a thickness of 8 to less than 15 ⁇ m; and for the pole with an outer diameter of less than 10 mm, the soft resin layer is applied to a thickness of 15 to less than 20 ⁇ m.
  • the applied soft resin layer has a thickness in accordance with the curvature (outer diameter) of the pole (in particular, the thickness of the applied soft resin layer is larger as the outer diameter of the pole is smaller).
  • the soft resin layer is capable of securely adapting to the shrinkage of the UV curable resin layer curing and distortion of the fishing rod being used, thereby securely preventing peeling of the UV curable resin layer.
  • the soft resin layer applied onto the pole should preferably have a thickness of 3 to less than 8 ⁇ m.
  • the present invention provides a fishing rod that prevents peeling of UV curable resin layers on outer surfaces of poles having various curvatures.
  • Fig. 1a is an overall side view of an entirely thin fishing rod 1 composed only of poles having outer diameters of 25 mm or smaller;
  • Fig. 1b is a fragmentary side view of an entirely thick fishing rod 1A including a pole having an outer diameter of 25 mm or smaller.
  • the fishing rod 1 shown in Fig. 1a may include a plurality of tubular poles, e.g., a base pole B having an outer diameter of 10 to 25 mm and having a grip 3 and a reel seat 5 for detachably receiving a fishing reel 30, one or more intermediate poles B' thinner than the base pole and having outer diameters of 10 to 25 mm and/or one or more intermediate poles A' having outer diameters of less than 10 mm, and a tip top pole B" thinner than the intermediate poles and having an outer diameter of 10 to 25 mm and equipped with a fishline fastener 7a or a tip top pole A having an outer diameter of less than 10 mm.
  • a base pole B having an outer diameter of 10 to 25 mm and having a grip 3 and a reel seat 5 for detachably receiving a fishing reel 30, one or more intermediate poles B' thinner than the base pole and having outer diameters of 10 to 25 mm and/or one or more intermediate poles A' having outer diameters of less than 10 mm,
  • the poles (the base pole, intermediate poles, and tip top pole) may be arranged to be telescopic or ordinarily jointed; and the pole bodies (the bases 20; see Fig. 2 ) constituting the poles may be formed by, e.g., winding a fiber-reinforced prepreg made of a reinforced fiber impregnated with a synthetic resin (or may be formed of a metal such as steel).
  • the fishing rod 1A shown in Fig. 1b may also include a plurality of tubular poles arranged to be telescopic or ordinarily jointed Only part (one or more) of the poles have outer diameters of 25 mm or smaller.
  • a tip top pole and/or one or more intermediate poles may have outer diameters of 25 mm or smaller and may be formed of poles A, A' (having outer diameters of less than 10 mm) or poles B', B" (having outer diameters of 10 to 25 mm); and other poles including a base pole C and/or one or more intermediate poles C' may have outer diameters of greater than 25 mm.
  • a laminate structure 30 as a decorative layer 50 including a viscous soft resin layer (also referred to as an undercoat layer or a primer layer, and hereinafter referred to as a soft resin layer) 30A provided directly on the surface of the base 20 of the pole or indirectly with another layer as an intermediate therebetween, and a UV curable resin (e.g., a UV ink) layer 30B that is provided on the soft resin layer 30A and cures upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays.
  • the laminate structure 30 may be formed by various methods (e.g., ink-jet printing).
  • the resin forming the soft resin layer 30A should have an elasticity of 20% or higher so as to securely adapt to shrinkage of the UV curable resin layer curing and distortion of the fishing rod being used
  • Examples of such resin may be polyester, urethane, acrylic, etc.
  • the UV resin forming the UV curable resin layer 30B may be viscous and cure through a polymerization reaction upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays.
  • the UV resin may be composed mainly of a photopolymeric oligomer or monomer (epoxy acrylate, urethane acrylate, polyester acrylate, etc.) and include a catalyst as a photopolymeric initiator, as well as a pigment and an adjuvant such as an antifoam agent.
  • the photopolymeric initiator may produce radicals upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays, and the radicals may initiate polymerization of the oligomer.
  • Such polymerization reaction causes the UV resin to cure and settle on the printing medium.
  • photopolymeric initiators generally used are benzophenone-based, benzoin-based, acetophenone-based, thioxanthone-based, acyl phosphine oxide-based, etc.
  • the decorative layer 50 may be coated with a transparent layer or a translucent layer. These layers may be formed of either paints including a solvent (solvent-based inks) or UV inks including a UV curable resin.
  • the thickness of a soft resin layer may depend on the outer diameter (curvature) of the pole constituting the fishing rods. More specifically, Fig. 2a is a sectional view of above-mentioned poles A, A' having an outer diameter of less than 10 mm, and a soft resin layer 30A and a UV curable resin layer 30B stacked on the outer surface of the poles A, A'; Fig. 2b is a sectional view of the above-mentioned poles B, B', B" having an outer diameter of 10 to 25 mm, and a soft resin layer 30A and a UV curable resin layer 30B stacked on the outer surface of the poles B, B', B"; and Fig.
  • FIG. 2c is a sectional view of the above-mentioned poles C, C' having an outer diameter of greater than 25 mm, and a soft resin layer 30A and a UV curable resin layer 30B stacked on the outer surface of the poles C, C'.
  • the poles A, A' having an outer diameter of less than 10 mm may be coated with the soft resin layer 30A to a thickness of 15 to less than 20 ⁇ m, the poles B, B', B" having an outer diameter of 10 to 25 mm (see Fig.
  • the soft resin layer 30A may be coated with the soft resin layer 30A to a thickness of 8 to less than 15 ⁇ m, and the poles C, C' having an outer diameter of greater than 25 mm (see Fig. 2c ) may be coated with the soft resin layer 30A to a thickness of 3 to less than 8 ⁇ m. That is, the thickness of the soft resin layer 30A applied onto the pole is larger as the outer diameter of the pole is smaller.
  • the Inventor has experimentally found a correlation between pole outer diameters (curvatures) A(A, A'), B(B, B', B"), and C(C, C') and the thickness of the soft resin layer 30A as shown in Fig. 3 , and confirmed that, as long as the correlation is fulfilled, the soft resin layer 30A may adapt to shrinkage of the UV curable resin layer 30B curing and distortion of the fishing rod being used so as to prevent peeling of the UV curable resin layer 30B.
  • portions of the pole with a smaller curvature may not have a significantly large curvature even in use of the fishing rod wherein the pole is distorted axially and deformed such that the cross section of the pole is depressed Therefore, such portions can be coated with the soft resin layer 30A to a smaller thickness (as in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 ).
  • the thickness of the soft resin layer 30A is less than 3 ⁇ m, the adhesion between the soft resin layer 30A and the UV curable resin layer 30B is too small to prevent peeling of the UV curable resin layer 30B, even on a pole having an outer diameter of greater than 25 mm (because the soft resin layer 30A cannot sufficiently adapt to the deformation of the pole).
  • the thickness of the soft resin layer 30A is greater than 20 ⁇ m, the weight of the entire laminate structure is excessively large, resulting in unfavorable increase in weight of the entire fishing rod
  • the thickness of the UV curable resin layer 30B may be, e.g., 10 to 70 ⁇ m depending on the design of the decorative layer 50.
  • the applied soft resin layer 30A has a thickness in accordance with the curvature (outer diameter) of the pole (in particular, the thickness of the applied soft resin layer 30A is larger as the outer diameter of the pole is smaller).
  • the soft resin layer 30A is capable of securely adapting to the shrinkage of the UV curable resin layer 30B curing and distortion of the fishing rod being used, thereby securely preventing peeling of the UV curable resin layer 30B.
  • the thickness of the soft resin layer may be in linear inverse proportion to the outer diameter of the pole.
